Start by adding fresh solder - low-melt solder if you have it. This way you're not battling 30 years of crust at the same time. I know you said you wicked off the old stuff, but adding solder actually helps distribute the heat among the pins.

That's making a big assumption. I can very much imagine they would. Besides, Woz didn't invent the SWIM as pointed out over. He could maybe be convinced to give talks that enable clean-room reimplementation of _his_ work?

Just musing here: I know he as a person invented a whole lot of ingenious circuitry and controllers. But he did it while on the Apple payroll. I'm not a lawyer, but I would understand that to mean that Apple owns that IP. Regardless of which Apple employee created it. Does he even have the legal...

Since some 3D models showed up, and the Maceffects replacement bezel is out there I added an iMac G3 page: https://retrorepro.wiki/IMac_G3 Feel free to help out with the Apple II stuff! I know next to nothing about the 8bit Apple era.

FYI there was a previous effort to recreate the CC Analog Board, but it seems to have stalled. There are probably some useful information in there, nonetheless: https://github.com/pferronato/MacCCAB edit: And it's forked and slightly improved at https://github.com/maekawa-mugi/MacCCAB

Sorry to necro this thread, but it came up again here: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/retrorepro-wiki-a-catalogue-of-modern-reproduction-parts-for-vintage-computers.5257/ Any chance we could convince you to upload them to, say, Printables?

This raises a bit of a conundrum: Access to these files require a registered user here on the forum. As much as I'm an active part here, the Wiki is a separate effort and aimed at being publically available. Open to suggestions.

Something I've been tinkering with since last year. I tried to launch during #Marchintosh but life had other plans. The idea is simple: a single place to find modern reproduction parts for vintage hardware. Reloaded logic boards, 3D-printable brackets and buttons, replacement chips, analog...

I love your mad 3D puzzles. That's all :D

YT videos definitely disappear, whenever the user accounts get deleted, cancelled or disabled for any number of reasons.

Welcome, stranger (I have Carola on my mind now). Glad to have you! TIL about Lazarus - a Delphi-ish modern IDE for FreePascal. Sounds fun!

I sew you had some replies over at Vogon, but I'll put my thoughts down here as well: That's probably an entirely custom power plug. This smells of POS machine, so there might be some industry standard but I wouldn't actually expect it to be ATX. One of those pins is probably a soft-power...

Hooray! Congrats on a working SE/30! And thank you for detailing your steps here - they're now available for everyone ever needing a sanity check for their own SE/30 issues.

Congratulations on figuring everything out! And thank you very much for the writeup - this will benefit more people for sure.

Oh, wooooow! This takes me back! More specifically it takes me back to taking turns with my brothers on my dad's 512k
